Crime hub — Police shooting series corrected
The /statistics/crime page stated 45 deaths in shootings confirmed by the Police for 2024 and 53 for 2023. The Police annual report records 44 for 2024 and 54 for 2023. The key figure, time series and timeline have been corrected, and the definition now explicitly distinguishes the Police operational series from Brå's separate statistics on confirmed cases of lethal firearm violence.
